A Framework of Intersectional Risk Theory in the Age of Ambivalence (Hardcover, 1st ed. 2020): Katarina Giritli Nygren, Anna... A Framework of Intersectional Risk Theory in the Age of Ambivalence (Hardcover, 1st ed. 2020)
Katarina Giritli Nygren, Anna Olofsson, Susanna Oehman
R2,520 Discovery Miles 25 200 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

This book brings feminist theories and concepts to the sociology of risk in an attempt to carve out a framework for intersectional risk theories in times of ambivalence. The authors purport that risk is pervasive in the Global North, and is fast becoming a hegemonic governing principle. In order to understand this crucial aspect of society, sociological risk theories and risk analysis must go beyond power and social inequalities, to incorporate an intersectional risk approach that takes into account gender, race and other critical perspectives. Their proposed framework will provide the tools to assess how risk is situated in different configurations of power, revealing cracks and openings in the weft of power and rethinking risk governance in contemporary society. By utilising an intersectional and nuanced analysis, the everyday understanding, practices and discourses of risk can be explored and better understood. This book will be of interest to scholars and students who value the importance of establishing interdisciplinary networks between risk theory, sociology, politics and more in order to study the contemporary world.

Working Life and Gender Inequality - Intersectional Perspectives and the Spatial Practices of Peripheralization (Paperback):... Working Life and Gender Inequality - Intersectional Perspectives and the Spatial Practices of Peripheralization (Paperback)
Angelika Sjoestedt, Katarina Giritli Nygren, Marianna Fotaki
R1,326 Discovery Miles 13 260 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

In the modern globalized world of work, society's capitalist and patriarchal norms perpetuate old and create new differences based on gender, class, ethnicity, age, and other social categorizations. This book proposes a novel conceptual framework offering theoretical and methodological insights for thinking through the present and future inequality challenges in the globalized world of work and working life issues in the context of spatio-temporal relations. Bringing together global feminist studies of intersectionality and transnationalism, work-life research, and studies of space, place, and identity, this edited collection responds to the growing interest in peripheries, rurality, and other spaces beyond the urban and business market centres. In crossing the theoretical boundaries between intersectionality and peripherality, this volume brings these concepts together to identify how racism, capitalism and heteropatriarchy operate on bodies in the name of work, particularly as expressed in precarious labour conditions. It also advocates for transnational solidarity as part of feminist ethics, while providing an opportunity to reflect on ways forward for feminist intersectional studies of work and working life, drawing on embodied relationality and a feminist ethics of care. Working Life and Gender Inequality explores the intersectional nature of gender, class, race and other inequalities from a global and spatial perspective. It will be of value to researchers, academics, students, managers, consultants, and policy makers in the fields of organizational studies, leadership, feminist and gender studies, working life, intersectionality and transnational feminism.

Where Am I in the Picture? - Researcher Positionality in Rural Studies (Paperback): Claudia Mitchell, Katarina Giritli Nygren,... Where Am I in the Picture? - Researcher Positionality in Rural Studies (Paperback)
Claudia Mitchell, Katarina Giritli Nygren, Relebohile Molestane
R714 Discovery Miles 7 140 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

Positionality and researcher reflexivity – how to account for one’s subject position – remain as challenges for new researchers. But they also remain as challenges for experienced researchers, who are often involved in multiple research projects simultaneously. Where Am I in the Picture? sheds light on the idea of researcher positionality through visual methodologies, particularly in the context of studying rurality in Canada, Sweden, and South Africa. The book is intended for new and experienced researchers seeking to decolonize their own perspectives in research in the social sciences and humanities. It incorporates photographs, drawings, and memory work to highlight the social constructedness of what counts as rural. Drawing together compelling narratives from researchers about their positionality in studying rurality, the book highlights a need for greater attention to "where we are in the picture" more broadly. It suggests that when it comes to the rural, researchers need to rethink the interplay of dominant images, insider and outsider perspectives, and what this interplay means in relation to interpretation. Where Am I in the Picture? presents a new vision of how to take into consideration positionality in research.

Challenging the Myth of Gender Equality in Sweden (Hardcover): Lena Martinsson, Gabriele Griffin, Katarina Giritli Nygren Challenging the Myth of Gender Equality in Sweden (Hardcover)
Lena Martinsson, Gabriele Griffin, Katarina Giritli Nygren
R2,307 Discovery Miles 23 070 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

This is the first book to explode the myth of Swedish gender equality, offering both a new perspective for an international audience, and suggesting how equality might be re-thought generally. The authors argue that whilst gender equality in Sweden has led to a society with increased opportunities for some, it has also become nationalistic and builds upon heteronormative and racial principles.
